Fire Arts Festival was so great!
I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the fire culture. It's one that I don't naturally fit into in a lot of ways, so I always feel (perhaps without cause) that I'm trying too hard to fit in.
But tonight I saw three amazing performances with people I know and love as performers. There's something so wonderful and special about watching someone I know in one context showing off the thing they've worked on and prepared for so long. The concentration and focus. The very 'them'ness that comes out.
I also got to see the life-size mousetrap in action, finally!
And it was quite nice to see 2piR in action again. And running beautifully. And to play on it with Munc. I've never come up with a brilliant dance sequence or idea or anything, but it's always fun to control fire.
Also, I enjoyed spending the day with my good friend David and his girlfriend Ursula who is in town from Vienna. Although I've met her many times, this was the first time I've spent quality time with her in a small group. She and David and I hiked a trail in Redwood Regional park that I had to preview for the backpacking trip that I'm leading in 2 days. She is really positive about everything and very interesting. And we all enjoyed swimming in the pool at Roberts Regional Park.
Ach! Adrenaline rush from fire! Will I ever sleep?
